Billy Kametz, a voice actor that had become particularly well-known over the past few years, has sadly passed away. Kametz died at just 35 years old.
EA's CEO says that AI will revolutionize 50% of their development, enhancing speed and creativity in gaming.
I've heard of garbage in, garbage out.
But garbage creating garbage is a whole new "landscape of gaming" garbage.
EA says the next Battlefield game is being built by the "largest Battlefield team in history," and confirms the game is in a playable state.
“I’ve just spent a whole bunch of time with the collective Battlefield team, playing what they’re building and it is going to be another tremendous live service.”
It's just what gamers want, more live service garbage.
What Henderson has leaked so far is that ... even though the dev size's large, they are playing safe this time,
so I am guessing big budgeted BF3 2.0 ... fingers crossed
We don't need thousands of workers wasting their time and effort, for many years, on a live-service project nobody asked for.
Just take a dedicated small team and create a cool Battlefield GAME. Not a service, but a game. As in 10-12 Conquest maps, 4 classes, cool gameplay, done. That's it.
That doesn't need 3-4 years of development. That doesn't need thousands of employees. Just go back to basics; Release a cool game, let gamers buy and enjoy that game, and 1-2 years later you release a sequel. No 'service', no subsciption, no DLC, no seasons. Just a game. On its own. Done. 50 bucks.
Phil Spencer and Microsoft have come under fire following the closure of multiple Bethesda-owned studios including Tango Gameworks.
wow haha.
i dont think he will resign. or will be kicked off.
if hes still here after everything in the past, this wont affect him unfortunately.
He and his cronies have a sweet deal. Even if they are fired, stock options and parachutes will mean they never need to work again. Cronyism at its worst.
@Rhino, lol at the people disagreeing with you. Phillip Spencer the man to represent the average gamer as a gamer himself is in a Ferrari commercial as proud owner. Lol. Of course he'll get his golden parachute despite leaving the xbox division in flames.
I think his days are numbered TBH. Spending 80 million of all acquisitions yet can’t even compete with others it’s insane
This also proves gamepass isn’t as profitable as Xbox fanboys make it out to be
That huge Acti-Blizz acquisition wasn't worth it ... They should've stopped at Zenimax and instead focused "rescuing" individual studios like Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal, Crytek, Volition or Gearbox etc (much better than trying to devour the whole of one of the largest gaming publisher)
IMHO, with no $70 Billion deficit, these studio closures would not have happened ...

Way too young to go! May he RIP.
Jesus christ, he was only 35. That's just terrible. Rest in peace Billy.
Shit man, you never hear “the voice actor for such and such got married today”. I read half that sentence and knew he had passed away. Sucks. Condolences to his family and loved ones…
I lost my first cousin early this year to colon cancer & she was 61. This actor passes away of colon cancer at the young age of 35. It seems colon cancer is starting to become a killer among the young as well. Cancer sucks! May he r.i.p.
And he was Maruki in P5R, great talent. Any age it's sad to lose someone but 35 is just awful. Look after yourselves people; get checked out for things you're concerned about. RIP.
